Jean Louise Finch 'Scout' is now 26 years old and lives in New York. She returns home to Maycomb, Alabama to visit her father Atticus. She is quite disillusioned by what she sees and hears and feels very out of place in the town in which she grew up.
Jean Lousie meets up with a group of women for a coffee morning, but feels that she has nothing in common with them and doesn't know what to say to them.
When she finds that her father is a member of the Maycomb County Citizen's Council she can't believe that the man she has looked up to all her life could have changed so much.
This is the second book by Harper Lee, following on from her award winning 'To Kill a Mockingbird'. There are passages in this book which reminisce back to Scout's childhood and the characters from the original book. This book investigates the changing relationship between father and daughter.
I did enjoy the book, but think that I perhaps enjoyed 'To Kill a Mockingbird' more.
